Place Base to Specified Tolerances
Minimize loss of concrete
Minimize/eliminate thickness penalties
Enhance smoothness
Enhance pavement performance

Unstabilized Subbases
Stabilized Bases
Includes soil-cement, cement-treated base, asphalt-treated
base, permeable asphalt-treated base
Strength issue for stabilized base
Specify min/max values
7-day compressive strength: 5.0/8.0 MPa psi common
Base stiffness affects pavement performance
Potential for random cracking high for very stiff bases

String lines
String line management very important to final
smoothness of pavement
String lines control the “steering” of the paver
String lines control the elevation and slab thickness

Set String Line (cont.)
• Continually check tension
• Place winches at ≤ 300m
• String lines on both sides of paving?
• Some situations require cantilever or
trusses for sensors to reach string

Finishing Operations
Minimal hand finishing – do not over-finish
Surface does not have to be super-smooth
Longer straight edges produce smoother surface
Do not add water to facilitate finishing – if used, it
should be fogged, not sprayed
Finishers have final say on PCCP smoothness &
surface durability

Curing Methods

Curing compounds
41
Curing Compound
Curing Compounds
Coating placed on concrete surface to prevent moisture loss
Resin or wax based
Clear or white-pigmented
Advantages:
Easy to use - not labor intensive
Economical
ASTM C 309 & AASHTO M148 (Type 2, Class B)
All curing compounds are not created equal even if they meet specs
Water retention is a key to successful curing
42
Curing Compound Application
Time of application
Apply as soon as surface sheen has disappeared
Use automated equipment for uniform coverage
Cover all exposed surfaces (incl. sides)
Re-apply at joints after sawcutting
Typical application rate: 4 to 5 m2/l (150-200 ft2/gal)
Curing time: Typically 72 to 96 hours
Check nozzles regularly for uniform spray (clogging)

Timing of Curing
Final finishing follows concrete placement
There is some wait to ensure surface is ready for texturing/tining
Once bleeding stops & texturing is done, curing can start
Too early curing - bleed water accumulates under and
damages curing membrane
Too late curing - damages surface & results in plastic shrinkage
cracking
If grinding is used for texture, curing can begin as soon as
bleeding stops
